Ever walk out your back door and see a tornado?

I did that yesterday. And it was the first time in all my life to ever see one.

Here's the first one. I handed the video camera to my husband to shoot the video.

I was looking east from Hopeton, Oklahoma. (That's 8 miles south of Alva, in Woods County.) The tornado was moving NNE 1.4 miles away, passing between Hopeton and Dacoma between 7:40 an 7:44pm.
